Help. Friends. Geeks.com - Computer parts, Laptop computers, Desktop computers, Olympus E-P2 and two Micro Four Thirds zooms: Digital Photograph. Olympus has announced the E-P2 just five months after the launch of its first Micro Four-Thirds camera, the E-P1.
It's a minor upgrade with the addition of a port for a new high resolution electronic viewfinder (or external microphone), two new Art filters and a pearlescent black finish. It also gains AF tracking and includes a new i-Enhance 'colour boosting' function. Available from January 2010, the E-P2 with VF-2 electronic viewfinder and either 17mm pancake or 14-42mm zoom lens will sell for a suggested retail price of $1099.99. The E-P2 represents almost as subtle an enhancement as the company's E-450 does, compared to the remarkably similar E-420. The two models will sell alongside each other, with all E-P2 kits including the plug-in viewfinder.
